Nikon FA, Nikkor 35mm f/2 Ai-S + R72 filter – 8s, f16, – Adox HR-50
Developed in Ilford Ilfotec DD-X at 1:4, 7½ mins at 20°c.

An image from this time last year! At first the roll was in the ‘to be developed’ queue and then it was in the ‘to be digitised’ queue!

…and I really must get some more Adox HR-50!

Digitised using Nikon D5600 & AF-S Micro-NIKKOR 40mm f/2.8, Nikon ES-2 Film Digitising Adapter and Negative Lab Pro plugin with minimal cropping and tweaking in Lightroom Classic CC.

Mamiya C330f Professional, Mamiya-Sekor 80mm f/2.8 – 1/125s, f11, – Ilford FP4 Plus
Developed in Ilford Ilfotec DD-X at 1:4, 10 mins at 20°c.

Another image from a walk along the Cromford Canal at the end of April and another scene I’ve photographed more times than I care to remember over the years…

Leawood Pump House was built in 1849 to pump water from the River Derwent into Cromford Canal. I don’t think it still fulfils its original purpose but the pump is steamed from time to time and is well worth seeing in action.

Digitised using Nikon D5600 & AF-S Micro-NIKKOR 40mm f/2.8, pixl-latr and Negative Lab Pro plugin with minimal cropping and tweaking in Lightroom Classic CC.

Fujifilm X-T1, Fujinon XF 18-135mm f3.5~5.6 R LM OIS WR at 55mm, 1/80s, f11, ISO 200

What was I photographing on this day in previous years?

Nine years ago it was boats on the River Trent at Sawley in Derbyshire.

Actually the River Trent forms the border between Derbyshire and Leicestershire here but I think Petrel No.1 is far enough across to still be in Derbyshire!

Nikon NIKOMAT FT, NIKKOR-H 50mm f/2 – Foma Pan 200
Developed in Adox FX-39 II at 1:9, 10 mins at 20°c.

An image from a roll of film that’s been sitting in the camera for three years!

The NIKOMAT FT and NIKKOR-H 50mm f/2 combination is possibly the scruffiest camera I own and is definitely older than I am!

Digitised using Nikon D5600 & AF-S Micro-NIKKOR 40mm f/2.8, Nikon ES-2 Film Digitising Adapter and Negative Lab Pro plugin with minimal cropping and tweaking in Lightroom Classic CC.
